Famous 1540 WPTR, the home of Boom Boom Brannigan and many other "pre Drake" era air personalities was a 50,000 watt AM station broadcasting at 1540 khz from the Town of Colonie in Albany County, New York. With a common point current of about 63 amperes the station was audible through New England from Boston through the Canadian Maritime Provinces and to "all the ships at sea" along the Grand Banks. WPTR often received postal mail (no email back then) from regular listeners in Northern Europe, picking up the long waves reflected from the atmosphere on a path approximately the same as the White Star shipping lanes. After dark in New England listeners could choose between WMEX 1510 Boston, WKBW 1520 Buffalo and WPTR 1540 Albany.
